It is said to be a drama that tells the story of situations that occur within an entertainment department, written byPark Ji Eun and to be directed by variety show producer Seo Soo Min.

A broadcast representative revealed, “Kim Soo Hyun received a casting offer for the main role. He is in the middle of reviewing it positively.” According to reports, the actor received a love-call directly from scriptwriter Park Ji Eun herself.

With regards to casting for the upcoming drama, the rep shared, “We’re still in the beginning stages of drama productions. While it is true that Kim Soo Hyun is in talks, there are still adjustments to be made and he is still considering it."

OH. I like this. I like it a lot. KBS’s new drama Producer isn’t settling for one male lead, because why have one when you can have two? Right on the heels ofannouncingKim Soo-hyun’s potential reunion with the writer of You From Another Star in her newest drama, Cha Tae-hyun (Jeon Woo-chi) has signed on to play the veteran variety producer to Kim Soo-hyun’s rookie. The Yoda to his Luke Skywalker. The Moon-ho to his Healer. This is one trend in dramaland that should never die down.

The drama is set in the backstage world of variety shows, and will be helmed by star variety PD Seo Soo-min, of Gag Concert and Yoo Hee-yeol’s Sketchbook. She’s known for having a Midas touch, and is now the CP (chief producer, aka head honcho) of KBS’s Happy Sunday corner, which includes Superman Returns and Season 3 of 1 Night 2 Days. That explains how she got Cha Tae-hyun onboard since he’s on the 1 Night 2 Days cast, while we already know that writer Park Ji-eun (You From Another Star) was responsible for calling Kim Soo-hyun back to dramaland.

Cha Tae-hyun has been cast to play a 10-year veteran PD of variety shows. He’s described as walking in and out of the Korea Communication Standards Commission (the censorship office) like it’s his own house, though for all his experience on a long list of variety shows, he’s still a PD without a marquee program to his name. Cha Tae-hyun is pretty much perfect for this role — he spends his days on variety sets working with these PDs, and I can’t wait to see him making inside jokes, like meta on meta with a side of meta. read more-dramabeans

Cha Tae Hyun, whose last drama was “Jeon Woo Chi” (2012), has been confirmed for a new KBS 2TV drama that is tentatively titled “Produsa.”

Helmed by director Seo Soo Min and writer Park Ji Eun, “Produsa” is set in the entertainment industry. Cha Tae Hyun will play Heo Ri (working name), a variety show producer who has been in the industry for eight years.

There is heightened anticipation for “Produsa” after the recent reveal that actor Kim Soo Hyun is a candidate for the lead role.

as muxh as i like iu. I think she needs more exposure to actibg to take on lead role. She was serviceable in the best lee soon shin but was not good in bel ami. I know she is plenty popular as an singer but as an actress she wold be eaten alive by the big presence of ksh and cth (it they confirm). there are plenty of actresses out ther: shin mina, jung yumi, hangroo, jung somin, moon chae won, moon geun young, han hyo joo, jung ryeowon, park eunbin...

Singer IU is reportedly in talks to be the female lead of a new drama on KBS 2TV.

According to a KBS associate on March 2, IU has been suggested as the female lead of a drama called “Producer” (working title). The part is that of a popular star singer.

The associate said, “It is true that IU is being discussed as the female lead of ‘Producer,’ but it has not been confirmed. There are no confirmations for the casting besides Cha Tae Hyun.”

“Producer” will tell a story of happenings at a broadcast station. The drama will be produced by Seo Soo Min, who has led “Gag Concert” and “1 Night 2 Days,” while the script was written by Park Ji Eun, who has written “My Love from the Stars,” “My Husband Got A Family,” and “Queen of Reversals.”
